The Power of Surrender and Intuitive Responsewith Peter Sterios By design, the practice of Hatha Yoga produces a very physical experience, and also has the potential to produce a powerful mystical experience, depending on the quality of one’s attention during practice. In this series of classes, guidance will be given, in very clear and concise ways, to sharpen our attention and reacquaint ourselves with what lies beyond the purely physical experience, what is often referred to as the mystical. Understanding the power and the place for such experiences is helpful as we age, to maintain a meaningful and healthy life. The classes will be taught in a progressive manner with each day a preparation for the next. All levels of students are welcome.

In this unique workshop, learn how to recognize common blockages in your students, and with hands-on experience, learn subtle techniques for assessing and awakening the necessary energy within for safer, more en-lightened poses. The class will first discuss how physical and psychological blockages occur in the body, and the body’s natural forces inherent for releasing them; followed by teacher-student demonstrations and hands-on partner work to give each attendee an opportunity to connect with a variety of conditions. Ideas and forms of adjustments will be shared, based on Peter's 35 years of insight on how appropriate touch can guide students to a personal understanding of their own physical and psychological nature while on the mat, with clues to guide them off the mat. The class is designed for teachers and intermediate practitioners, and will be part lecture, part practice.
